Hot August Night - Neil Diamond



Released in 1972 - the best year ever of course! The album has become a great success for Diamond, and in Australia, it spent 29 weeks at number 1 on the album charts during 1973 & 1974. This figure was surpassed in the 1980s by Dire Straits with their album Brothers in Arms spending 34 weeks at number one on the album charts.

It was the number one charting album in Australia for the 1970s, entering the Australian album charts in late 1972 and was still charting in the top 20 in 1976. It re-entered the Australian top 10 in 1982. 

I'm very excited that I will be going to see Neil Diamond live for the first time tonight. I have only ever heard good things about his concerts so I can't wait.
